Would you ever have imagined an unclean intestine was the cause of your skin problems? Believe it or not, the solution to clear, enviable flawless skin lies in clean bowels. Before applying ointments and lotions, it's worth understanding how internal bacteria and toxins are the true reasons behind blemished, spotty and even acne skin.

Toxins clog your intestine, gall bladder, kidney and colon – consider these organs as the "vacuum" of your body that eliminates debris from what we eat. When these organs are swamped with toxins, they aren't released and unfortunately, circulate back into your body, causing skin problems like: eczema, rashes, itchiness, sudden breakouts and acne.

Unhealthy eating habits tend to rule the lunch menu these days in fast-paced society which is why our skin is reflecting the nutritionally devoid meals we're consuming. So to salvage our skin, at any cost, we fork out on expensive ointments, lotions or beauty therapies - all a temporary solution. The answer lies on your plate

Think about it: artificial foods are not fit for human consumption; instead, the gut tolerates fruits, meat, fish and nuts as they provide beneficial nutrients and minerals for renewing skin cells. Breakouts or continuous skin problems are indicatiors that you've eaten or drunk something, which is irritating your digestive tract.

When your gut is free from putrefied, undigested food, it will result in a glowing complexion and sparkling eyes.

So how do you get beautidul skin? Follow the guidance below:

- Stock up on healthy oils like borage, fish, flax and hemp seed oil to internally moisturise the skin

- Take regular probiotics to kill fungus and reduce inflammation (make sure they are good quality)

- Refrain from eating sugars – the bad bacteria thrive on sugary treats, which will encourage bad skin

- Boost your intake of raw vegetables and leafy greens because they are a brilliant source for clearing internal toxins
